  • A decorative traditonal African necklace on a stand, made from recycled glass.
    African recycled glass beads are made by members of the Krobo Tribe which is located in Ghana, Africa. These African beads are created by compressing glass into a dry grain, and heating the grain so that the pieces form together. The recycled glass is rushed into a porcelain cast. The stem of a cassava leaf is used to make the hole. It is baked in a furnace causing the glass to melt together and cassava stem to burn. This technique has been used in Africa for centuries to make recycled glass beads.

Such a treasure of a shop.

I love Sarza! Everything in the shop is beautiful, unique, lovely. Every time I give a friend a gift from Sarza, that friend will look delightedly at the gorgeous gift and I will feel happy and proud that I found something so perfect for my friend. It is really such a treasure of a shop.

Dear Karen. Thanks so much...we could ask for a better review, nor a nicer compliment. We appreciate all the support you give us and our suppliers.
